Luxury items? Nope.
So I buy a $900 refurb'd Apple Laptop every five years.
(The first big thing that'll go wrong with it already has and was fixed).
Three years on Applecare, two on novenas.
I part it out on eBay when the OS is no longer supported.
Net outlay usually around $600 or $120 per year.
My wife buys a NIB $300 HP/Acer/Dell every two or three years.
We scramble to rescue the contents when it hardware-borks.
We have a pile of them.
Net outlay $600 over 5 years,...

Apple shouldn't have been even remotely worried about buying Oculus. Apple makes things that people can use as they're doing the other / important things in life. See the Verse ads for proof. Siri means you only have to time-slice your ears (the easiest /richest sense to do so with) to be more effective than without it. You can't do those things with a Rift on your face, and it removes the real ("OUCH!") world from your time-slicing.

I'd like her to list one thing that Steve would do differently from what Tim has done. Probably nothing of consequence.
Rule 1 about writing a book is get people talking about your book. She's succeeding.
